"Empress Orchid"
I enjoyed the story (I have a daughter from China) and the descriptive way it was written. However, I was very unhappy with the narrator...she sounded like she had a mouth full of saliva and her swallowing was audible (no pun) and distracting.
"Very disappointed"
After having listened to Silver Wattle, Tuscan Rose and Wildflower Hill I was so looking forward to this book, but contrary to the other reviewers I couldn't stand the narrator's voice - especially for Simone - and couldn't even finish listening to it. Compared to the other books, I found the story didn't keep my interest. I hardly ever actually write a review - just use the star system - but this one...oh my...not in my top ten.
"Awesome"
I didn't think I'd ever enjoy a "war book" being a girly-girl - but this is so much more - simply one of the best books I've ever listened to. Character development was supreme and the story - because it's true - even more amazing. The narrator was first class. I high recommend this book!
"An enjoyable summer read"
I enjoyed this as much as other Sandra Brown books - perfect beach book!
"Great Summer Read!"
This book was so interesting and the best narrated book I've listened to. Didn't want to put it down until the end. I highly recommend this book! it sticks close to historical facts and the story is very well written.
"Great book!"
I throroughly enjoyed this book - especially the narration. It was the first Jody Picoult book I'd read and it was just great. Highly recommend it.
"Loved it!"
Right from the beginning I knew I wouldn't be able to put this one down! I had just finished Smash Cut and this one was even better! And I love Victor Slezak's narrating.
"Great read!"
I really enjoyed this book (except for the part about the dog) and would recommend it to anyone who likes interesting twists, a great narrator and suspense right up to the end!
"One of the best!"
I absolutely loved this book...the different characters narrated by different people made this book come alive for me. I had a knot in my belly the whole book...holding my breath as the characters did and I couldn't "put it down!"
"Great "read!""
I loved this story, the narration was particularly pleasant and it was a great story! Highly recommend it!
"Cleopatra"
I loved this book! I loved the story, the history, the way the narrator told the story and it was thoroughly enjoyable! I highly recommend this book!
